Dragon cubs are the group pet of the Qing Palace

"Don't say that in front of Huang Ama."

Yinhu felt that they were in a good mood listening to this, but Huang Ama might not be happy if she knew it.

"Why? An'an will ask Ama first if she can take it~" The little guy tilted his head and said.

Feeling that he was still going to ask, Yinzhen said: "Huang Ama is an elder, we should honor him, there is no reason to ask him for things, of course, what he rewards is another matter."

Cheng An nodded his head to show that he knew it, and his brows furrowed again: "But Brother Nine has no money, what should we do?"

Seeing him worrying about Yinzhen seriously, Yin'e couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't listen to your ninth brother crying about being poor, if he has no money, your tenth brother and I will be poor!"

"What is a pauper? Is it delicious?"

Yinhu chuckled, feeling that the little guy's focus was always on eating.

"Didn't your tenth brother say that he is a poor man, you will know if he tastes good if you bite him." Yinzhen said while grabbing Yin'e's hand and bringing it to his mouth.

The little guy's first reaction was to cover his mouth, shook his head and said, "You can't bite Brother Ten, it will hurt!"

"You haven't bitten it before, how do you know if it will hurt." Yinzhen said with a smile.

Thinking of the scene where he bit his own little arm, Yinfeng couldn't help but said: "He really did bite, but it was himself."

"Why did he bite himself?" Yin'er asked strangely.

Sometimes there is no reason for children to do things, they just think it is fun or they want to bite themselves out of curiosity.

In any case, after hugging the little guy for a while, Yinzhen felt much better, and decided to write a note to Kangxi when she went back.

Before dinner, Yinreng and Yinzhen sent the little guy back to Changchun Garden together.

On the carriage, the careful Yinhu didn't forget to remind him again, he just said it before, telling him not to go back and ask Huang Ama for something.

Chengan remembered, he didn't mention this matter to Kangxi when he returned to Qingxi Bookstore, but when he sat on the Arhat's bed to play after dinner, he suddenly said: "Ama, am I poor?"

The Arhat bed was divided into two sides by a small table, the little guy occupied most of the seats, and the whole person sat on it, with all kinds of toys scattered around, while the other side where Kangxi sat was much neater.

Kangxi was reading a book, and he couldn't help raising his eyes when he heard his words: "You want to be a pauper and wait until your next life."

At such a young age, he already had his own private treasury, which was full of good things, and he was poor. Just thinking about this word made Kangxi feel funny.

Kangxi thought that he would not ask this question for no reason, and said again: "Who said you are poor?"

"No." The little guy shook his head, "Brother Ten said he was poor."

These words were harmless, Kangxi was not angry, but felt that Yin'er was really promising, and cried poorly in front of his younger brother.

"Liang Jiugong, send ten taels of gold to Yin'er tomorrow, and let him spend it carefully, so as not to cry about being poor."

"Whoo."

Kangxi's order was obviously intended to embarrass Yin'er, but the little guy didn't understand the deep meaning of it, and immediately got up and rushed towards him when he heard his words.

"Ama, you are so kind!"

Seeing his stupidity, Kangxi smiled and stretched out his arms to embrace him, holding him with one arm and continuing to read the book with the other.

"Ama~"

"Ok?"

Kangxi originally thought that he couldn't sit still on his side, and was about to let go of his hand and let him play on the other side, but he suddenly said: "An'an is also poor!"

Apparently, the little guy wants to see Kangxi give Yin, poor man, Russian gold.

Naturally, he has no shortage of gold, and there are even a lot of gold-related items in his private treasury, but for a dragon cub who loves gold, who would think too much gold.

Kangxi knew him better, and immediately understood his thoughts, so he couldn't help reaching out and flicking his forehead: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful, I really let you go!"

You become pauper. "

Cheng An saw that he would hit him back if he didn't give the gold, so he covered his forehead and puffed his cheeks at him.

"Do you know what a pauper is?" Kangxi continued without waiting for his answer after asking, "It means that everything in your private treasury is confiscated by me, and you are called a pauper if you have nothing."

The little guy opened his eyes slightly when he heard what he said, and couldn't stand it just thinking about losing all his gold. He immediately stood up obediently and said, "I can't disturb Ama's reading, An An can go play by herself."

After finishing speaking, he walked around the small square table on Luohan's bed, returned to his position and sat down, picked up a Luban lock with his back to Kangxi, and played with it. While playing, his little ears were slightly pricked up, as if he was worried that he would hear Ah Ma said to take away his things.

Kangxi is not that boring. After all, he had to coax him to make him cry at night. When he saw that he was calm, he turned his eyes away and continued to read.

After playing by himself for a while, the little guy turned his head quietly, saw Ama was reading a book seriously, stretched out his hand to pat his little chest, and breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was glad that he hadn't really become a pauper.

Liang Jiugong, who was waiting by the side, couldn't help smiling when he saw his little movements.

The next morning, when Yin'e received the twelve taels of gold sent by Kangxi, he was a little confused, and when he found out the cause and effect, he felt like crying.

Cheng An, don't half-talk your words, Brother Ten is clearly just making an analogy...

Yin'er is really a very open-minded person. After being depressed for a while, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to lose anything by doing this, but he got ten taels of gold for nothing.

As for what Kangxi told Liang Jiugong to pass on, it seemed nothing to him who was often reprimanded.

"Looking at it this way, I still made money!" Yin'e said to the eunuch beside her, and ran to find Yinzhen with ten taels of gold.

When Yin'e came over, Yinzhen was writing a book in the study, and Yinhu was helping him with his advice.

"Look what this is!" Seeing that Yinhu was there, Yin'er greeted them and walked past them with a tray.

Yinzhen saw the gold on the tray, and looked at him with a look of "you're not sick".

"What's the meaning of brother ten?" Yinhu asked puzzled.

Yin'e didn't answer but asked instead: "How do you guess my gold?"

Twelve taels of gold is a lot for ordinary people, but it is really not worth showing off for elder brothers.

Seeing that he deliberately showed it to her, Yinzhen guessed, "Chengan gave it to you?"

Yin'e laughed and said, "Wow, Huang Ama gave it to me."

After finishing speaking, he added: "But it does have something to do with Cheng An."

When Yinzhen heard his words, his brain started to move quickly, and he guessed the reason in a short while: "Could it be that Chengan went back and told Huang Ama that you are poor, so Huang Ama rewarded you with gold?" ?”

Seeing that he had guessed, Yin'e put down the gold casually, nodded and told the story of Liang Jiugong going to him just now.

"You really have a big heart." Yinzhen felt that changing someone, not to mention how terrified, at least it would not be a good thing like him.

Yinhu reminded: "Can you go to thank the emperor?"

Yin'e didn't have such a sense of propriety, but Liang Jiugong said when he delivered the message, there is no need to go to thank him.

"What are you busy with? Do you want to go out for a drink at noon? I'll treat you."

Yin'er was no different from his own house in Yinzhen, and after leaning over to glance at the booklet in front of him, he found a seat and sat down.

"Didn't Huang Ama tell you to spend carefully what kind of wine to drink?" Yinzhen refused without raising her head.

"Forget it, then I will save all the money to buy delicious food for Cheng An."

After Yin'e finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said: "Cheng An still likes me the most, you see, you are afraid that I have no money, so ask Huang Ama for money for me."

Seeing what he said, it turned into a good thing, and even showed it off, Yinhu shook his head helplessly, thinking that if Huang Ama knew, would he regret rewarding him with gold.

In the end, they didn't really go out to drink, but wrote notes together.

The next day, accompanied by Yinhu and Yin'e, Yinzhen personally took the zhezi to see Kangxi.

"My son pays respects to Huang Ama."

After Kangxi dismissed the ceremony, probably because of the bounty, his eyes stopped on Yin'er for a second before asking them what's the matter.

Even though Yin'e was still showing off in front of Yinzhen and the others yesterday, Kangxi would take a second look at this, but he unconsciously became nervous.

After explaining his purpose, Yinzhen handed over the brochure in his hand.

Liang Jiugong stepped forward to take the booklet, turned around and presented it to Kangxi.

There was nothing important going on in the court recently, Kangxi was in a pretty good mood at first, but after reading the contents of the booklet, his expression gradually turned cold.

He didn't think as Yinzhen had thought before, he felt that Yinzhen should not send a boat to Dongyang for nothing, after all, he was so clear in his heart, there was nowhere to go!

From Kangxi's evaluation of the Japanese country, it can be seen that he does not have a good impression of this country, especially considering that when he talked with the ministers about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he also mocked the Japanese pirates in the previous dynasty. There will inevitably be a feeling of being slapped in the face.

"Let Xu Baoguang and Haibao come to see me!"

"Whoo."

Coincidentally, last year was the time when Ryukyu was canonized, and the envoys to Ryukyu were Xu Baoguang and Haibao.

Not long after, the two adults who had been summoned hurried over, felt the atmosphere in the imperial study room, and couldn't help beating their hearts when they saluted.

"Let me ask you, did you notice the Wa country when you went to the Ryukyu canonization?"

After Kangxi's words fell, Xu Baoguang and Haibao's foreheads burst into sweat instantly, and their first reaction was to plead guilty.

But it turned out that when they went to Ryukyu for canonization, they were more or less aware of some situations, they just thought that one more thing is worse than one thing less, and the most important thing is to complete the canonization as soon as possible, so they didn't take it to heart.

Seeing Kangxi ask at this time, they thought that Kangxi would pursue them after learning about the incident, so they became afraid.

"What's going on?" Kangxi said without anger.

Xu Baoguang and Haibao felt that they were very unlucky. After all, the situation in Ryukyu was not the same as it was when they went there. It happened that the emperor didn't care about it before, but now he asked.

Thinking so, they hurriedly told what they saw and heard when they went to Ryukyu, as well as what they discovered.

To say that the Wa Kingdom is really disgusting, while fearing the Qing Dynasty, it also made small moves, relying on the fact that the Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to small vassal states such as Ryukyu, not to mention invading Ryukyu, but also collecting taxes from Ryukyu.

And once it was discovered that the envoys of the Qing Dynasty were going to Ryukyu, those Japanese who were stationed in Ryukyu hurriedly hid.

Kangxi had seen the nature of the Japanese country early on, and his expression was still very displeased after hearing it.

Speaking of which, after Shi Lang regained "Dongning", he proposed to use this momentum to conquer the nearby Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop, but Kangxi did not agree.

One is that they were busy solving the rebellion in Galdan at that time, and they really had no spare energy or money to fight against the Wa Kingdom.The second is that the Wa Kingdom is afraid of the Qing Dynasty and stays in the country honestly. It seems that there is no need to fight.Three things, Kangxi didn't think highly of this small country, and felt that it would be difficult to manage after a waste of money and people, so he finally rejected Shi Lang's proposal.

After listening to Xu Baoguang and Haibao's words, Kangxi vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned the situation on the Ryukyu side before, but he was busy with other major affairs at that time, so he didn't take a small vassal state to heart.

Thinking of this, Kangxi finally only fined the two of them for half a year's salary, a small punishment and a big punishment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After Xu Baoguang and Haibao withdrew, Kangxi looked at the sons below, waved his hand and said, "I know about this matter, if you have nothing else to do, you should step back first."

"My son retire."

As soon as the three of Yinhu came out of the imperial study, Yin'e couldn't help but whispered: "Do you think Huang Ama will send troops to attack the country of Wa and teach them a lesson?"

"Nine times out of ten I won't." Although Yinzhen really wanted to do this, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't help but think about it.

I think it is unlikely.

It's not that the Daqing Navy can't beat the Japanese kingdom. You know, in order to regain "Dongning", Kangxi attached great importance to the construction of the navy. The main battleship "Bird Ship" is nearly [-] feet long, and each bird ship is equipped with There are nearly forty large artillery pieces, and there are almost seventy such gunboats in the Qingshui Division.

Yinzhen felt that it was impossible, mainly because of Ganzhou. Yinzhen and the others were still preparing to attack Junggar, and food, grass and military supplies were already a lot of consumption, so they thought they would not attack Wa, and at most sent someone to warn them.

"It's cheaper for them!" Yin'e was a little upset after hearing his opinion.

In the imperial study room, Kangxi twirled the jade wrench on his thumb, obviously thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Just as Yinzhen guessed, Kangxi's first reaction was not to attack the Wa Kingdom.

As soon as the cannon fires, the golden ten thousand taels is not a joke. As the emperor, he naturally cannot go to war as he pleases, but must first calculate the gains and losses.

To be honest, it would be easier to say if the Wa country bordered the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi would definitely not hesitate to send troops to fight and occupy the place.

This matter is not urgent, Kangxi finally decided to think again.

I don’t know if it’s because of thinking day by day and dreaming at night, but the next night, Kangxi had a dream after falling asleep.

In his dream, he saw a war from the perspective of a bystander. When he found out that the two sides in the war were the Japanese and the Daqingshui Division, Kangxi subconsciously frowned...

"Ama, what's the matter with you? An'an is here, don't be afraid..."

Kangxi woke up to the sound of the little guy's milky voice, and when he opened his eyes, he saw him lying on top of him, patting his chest with his little hands.

At this time, the sky was not yet completely bright, but the bed curtain had been hung up, and the bed was illuminated by a candlestick not far away. Liang Jiugong stood by the bed worriedly.

But it turned out that just now, Kangxi suddenly made several angry voices, which woke up the little guy sleeping next to him, and let the eunuch who was watching the night quickly call Liang Jiugong over.

Seeing that Kangxi seemed to be haunted, Liang Jiugong tried to yell softly a few times to no avail, and finally the little guy threw himself into his arms to wake him up.

"What time?" Kangxi sat up with his arms around the little guy who was still leaning in his arms, and raised his other hand to rub the center of his brow.

"If you go back to Lord Long Live, the time has just passed."

Kangxi waved him to step back first, with a pensive expression on his face.

Normally, after waking up from a dream, he would almost forget it, but this time Kangxi still remembered the absurd dream just now.

Isn't it ridiculous for Kangxi that the Japanese kingdom in the dream dared to take the initiative to attack the Qing Dynasty? What's even more absurd is that the Qing Dynasty actually lost in the dream!

Not to mention that the Wa country is a small place, it is impossible to have such a big ship, even if there is, with the fierceness of the Daqingshui Division, it is not unreasonable to fight against the Netherlands, which is known as the sea coachman, let alone the Wa country.

While Kangxi thought it was absurd, he couldn't help thinking about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more strange he became. He wondered why there were so many warships in the Japanese kingdom, and also wondered why the bird ships of the Qing Dynasty in the dream didn't look good at all, otherwise they wouldn't be defeated. into that.

In fact, if he thinks about it carefully, it is not difficult to guess the reason. The Daqingshui Division was originally built to regain "Dongning". Now that the purpose has been completed, it was better when he was there. Not surprising either.

"Ama, what's the matter with you?" Seeing his frown, Cheng An stretched out his little hand to help him smooth it, but at the same time he did not forget to care.

It's just a dream...

Kangxi thought to himself, and shook his head at him: "Ama is fine, it's still early, you go on to sleep."

The little guy looked up at him for a while, and saw that Ama didn't frown any more, and lay down obediently according to his words.

But it might be that he couldn't fall asleep after waking up. The little guy opened his eyes again after lying down for a while. Seeing that he was still sitting, he asked childishly, "Isn't Ama going to sleep?"

"I'm not sleepy."

Even if it was just a dream, Kangxi was able to fall asleep seeing the defeat of the Qing Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, which he despises.

strangeness.

The little guy didn't want to sleep anymore, so he sat up again after hearing his words and said, "I'm not sleepy anymore~"

Kangxi saw that he looked very energetic, so he didn't force him to continue to sleep, but he stretched out his arms and hugged him, leaning his head against his soft body that still smelled of milk.

The little guy blinked and seemed to feel a little strange, but he didn't say anything, instead he put his arms around him.

The little guy who just lay down and didn't want to sleep was in Kangxi's arms for a while, but he closed his eyes again not long after.

When Kangxi noticed it, he couldn't help shaking his head with a smile, and put him back on the bed.

At this time, there was still a period of time before the court, Liang Jiugong and others were waiting outside, and the bedroom was extremely quiet except for the steady breathing of the little guy.

In this quietness, Kangxi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, wondering whether the dream might be the future Qing Dynasty.

But he immediately shook his head and denied it, obviously unwilling to believe that the future generations of the Qing Dynasty would be reduced to the point where they would be hit on the head by a small piece of land.

That is to say, after waking up, the dream was still clearly remembered in his mind, which made Kangxi think it was absurd and couldn't help but think wildly.

But when it was dawn and he was about to go to the morning court, Kangxi immediately put away these messy thoughts.

Probably woke up once in the middle, Cheng An fell back to sleep and didn't wake up until the sun was drying his buttocks.

He didn't have to go to court, and he wasn't old enough to go to the Shang's study, so no one cared about him sleeping in late.

The first thing the little guy did when he woke up was to find Kangxi, and after making sure that he was busy again, he had breakfast with Liu Cai and others serving him.

After breakfast, he played for a while by himself, and seeing that no brother came to see him, he went to the Queen Mother.

As soon as the queen mother saw him coming, she immediately smiled and called for people to bring up the fresh fruit sent by Kangxi.

Kangxi is still very filial to the empress dowager, the aunt, and thinks about her when she has any good things, but the empress dowager is getting old, and she doesn't like to eat them. In the past, they were given to the concubines who came to pay her respects, but now they are all left to Cheng'an This little grandson.

"Mama, you're so kind!" Cheng An saw the melons, grapes and lychees on the table, and smiled so much that his eyes curled into crescents.

He likes sweet, sweet and sour grapes, but he likes honeydew melon and lychee very much.

The queen mother smiled more lovingly when she heard his words, and even fed him a lychee with her own hands.

"It's so sweet~"

Bite down the pitted lychee meat, the sweet juice and the unique aroma of lychee burst out on the tip of the tongue, so delicious that the little guy's feet are shaking unconsciously.

Seeing him eating happily, the queen mother was happier than eating herself.

"Mama, you eat too!" The little guy loves to eat, but he is not a character who likes to eat alone. Seeing several freshly peeled lychees on the plate, he reached out and forked one with a silver stick and lifted it up.

After the queen mother bowed her head and ate it, seeing him feed another one, she stroked his head and said, "Mama is getting old, so I can't eat more, can Chengan eat for Mama?"

The little guy felt a little pity when he heard the words, but he nodded and said, "An'an, help Mama eat more!"

"Okay." The queen mother was amused by his tone.

The little guy said that, but stopped after eating five lychees.

"Why don't you eat it?" The queen mother couldn't help asking when she saw that he was looking at the lychee on the plate but he still wanted to eat it but didn't do it.

"Ama said that you can only eat up to five a day..."

Cheng An looked at the lychees left on the plate, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

It's true that you can't eat too many lychees at one time, but the queen mother couldn't help but feed another one when she heard him sigh: "It's okay to eat one more now and then."

Cheng An wanted to say he couldn't eat it, but smelling the sweetness of the lychee, he still couldn't refuse the lychee brought to his mouth.

Obviously Kangxi was not here, but the little guy still looked around first, quickly opened his mouth to eat the lychee, and then covered his mouth with his little hand.

Seeing his series of movements, not to mention the queen mother, even the nuns and maids next to him couldn't bear it.

stop laughing.

When the little guy was about to leave, the queen mother asked him to bring some fresh fruits to Concubine Mu.

Concubine Mu was naturally happy to see her son coming, thinking that he likes to eat lychees, she stuffed some of the lychees he brought over into his purse.

"I can't eat any more today!" Cheng An's tone was full of regret, but in the end he still packed two lychees back, expressing that he would bring them to Ama.

Naturally, Kangxi did not lack two lychees, but when he saw him take out lychees from his purse and hold them in front of him like a treasure, he was very happy in his heart.
